Looking at the comments below, Su Yan almost laughed out of anger. She called Shi Qing and heard him ask with a smile, “Did you see what I sent you?”

Su Yan pretended to be angry. “Why did you send this to me?”

“Because it is better to share the joke with others.”

Su Yan also burst out laughing. “What motive do you think the person who posted this has? Tsk, did they know that I was going to give them a surprise at my coming-of-age ceremony and preheat the event?”

That’s right, Su Yan agreed to bring Su Qian to the coming-of-age ceremony with the intention of announcing the relationship between Su Qian and Huo Nan. At the same time, she also wanted to reveal her true identity, so it wouldn’t be embarrassing for Shi Qing.

“Are you going to continue this surprise?”

Su Yan nodded. “Of course. Being together and becoming a mistress is different.”

Shi Qing would not reject Su Yan’s decision. Seeing that she had made up her mind, he could only support her, he even asked if she needed help.

“There’s no need for that. I’ve already prepared most of the preparations. I’m just waiting for my coming-of-age ceremony the day after tomorrow.” Su Yan smiled and said, “Since this has happened, my surprise doesn’t seem so sincere anymore. Do you think I should prepare another gift for her?”

Su Qian, on the other hand, didn’t have much time to worry about the Math Olympiad exam. The coming-of-age ceremony was just around the corner, it was up to her whether she could impress the big shots in City A. After Su Qian returned home, Mother Su pulled her into the dressing room and to try on her clothes one by one.

“These are all just arrived today, you can try them first. Another batch will arrive tomorrow.” Mother Su nagged at Su Qian, trying to tell her that what she couldn’t get was for the best. In Su Qian’s eyes, none of these beautiful gowns were as beautiful as the one Yun Shang had given Su Yan.

Seeing Su Qian’s indifferent expression, Mother Su understood what her daughter was thinking. She pressed Su Qian’s shoulders and the mother and daughter looked into the mirror.

“Qianqian, bear with it a little longer. Once the Yun family’s plan succeeds, Su Yan will no longer be an eyesore to you.”

Su Qian replied, “I will. I will endure it for our future.”

Mother Su smiled. “Yes, for our future.”

After the conversation ended, Mother Su went to look at the so-called latest dresses in the dressing room. She was somewhat dispirited and waved her hand casually. “Forget it. Let’s go out and buy some later, these clothes are indeed a little lacking.”

Before she could finish speaking, Su Qian’s phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was Huo Nan. After Su Qian said goodbye to Mother Su and picked up the phone, Huo Nan’s angry voice came through the phone. “Su Qian, look at what you’ve done!”

Su Qian feigned innocence. “Brother Huo Nan, what are you talking about? What did I do?”

Huo Nan gritted his teeth and coldly said, “Su Qian, stop pretending. I’ve already found out that you were the one who sent the article about us online. What are you trying to do?”

Upon hearing this, Su Qian’s tone turned cold. “So what if Brother Huo Nan found out? I already told Brother Huo Nan that since you’d slept with me, you have to take responsibility.”

Huo Nan suddenly paused. Then, he heard Su Qian say in a sweet voice, “Rather than asking me what I want to do, why don’t you consider our relationship in the future? Also, I’m going to attend Su Yan’s coming-of-age ceremony soon, I don’t even have any nice clothes.

“Brother Huo Nan, you don’t want your girlfriend to lose face in front of the big shots of City A right?”

At this moment, Huo Nan felt disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly. He didn’t understand why Su Qian, who was as cute and gentle as a little white flower, had such a personality.

Su Qian spoke in an innocent tone, “Brother Huo Nan, don’t think too much. I have many trump cards that you don’t know about.”

A few seconds after Su Qian hung up, Huo Nan resentfully put down his phone. His heart was filled with regret. Why couldn’t he control himself? Why did he have to provoke Su Qian?

Outside the room, Huo Nan’s stepmother was holding onto Father Huo to comfort him. “It’s alright, it’s alright. Nan Nan’s love is the most important thing. He’s been obedient and sensible since he was young. He always does things with his mind set. You don’t have to worry. You should be more concerned about Xiaoxi’s studies instead of worrying about Huo Nan at this time. Xiaoxi got 100 marks for his exam yesterday.”

Huo Xi was Huo Nan’s younger brother. He was only in his first year of high school.

“What do you know? If he’s sensible, would he do that?”

“It’s all Zhao Ling’s fault. Look at what she did, she made Nan Nan lose face.” The stepmother seemed to be trying to absolve Huo Nan, but her words also constantly reminded Father Huo that Huo Nan’s biological mother had gone to jail. She was an existence that would tarnish the Huo family’s reputation.

Hearing his wife’s words, Father Huo started to think about Huo Nan’s future status as the successor.
